(a) - (c)
According to the lobbyist register, the company Diageo is not represented by any lobbyist. The Premier has not met with Diageo.
There is no central repository held in the Office of the Premier or Department of Premier and Cabinet whether or not other Ministers or officials across Government have met with the company in question. If the Member has a more specific question relating to a Minister's diary, he is welcome to ask it to the relevant Minister rather than to the Premier.
